The logic of action: young children at work

An insightful and moving journal of a skilled and resourceful teacher who chronicles one semester of a special class of six deaf pre-school children. Because the children were deaf and without speech, the author learned to understand the logic of their actions, their silent language. In this lovely book, Mrs. Hawkins tells how she planned each weekly session, what materials she used, and what surprising educational adventures happened. Despite their handicap, the children did the work and felt the satisfactions of rue learning.
